Ingredients & Safety (8)

Can I safely use Clorox® Regular-Bleach around children, pets and pregnant women?

Clorox's answer:

Yes. Used as directed, Clorox® Regular-Bleach shouldn’t pose hazards to your pets, children or pregnant women. In general, it's a good idea to remove pets and children from an area when cleaning it and to follow label precautionary instructions. When out of use, as with many household cleaners, you should keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

Where can I buy Clorox® Regular-Bleach?

Clorox's answer:

You can find stores near you that sell Clorox® Regular-Bleach on our Shop Now page. It's a good idea to call the store before going, to make sure they have it in stock. If you have any trouble finding it at a nearby store, you can also buy it online.

Can Clorox® Regular-Bleach be used to disinfect water?

Clorox's answer:

1. Remove suspended particles by filtering or letting particles settle to the bottom.
2. Pour off clear water into a clean container.
3. Add 12 drops (1/8 teaspoon) of Clorox® Regular-Bleach (not scented or Clorox® Plus® bleaches) to two gallons of water (2 drops to 1 quart). For cloudy water, use 24 drops per two gallons of water (3 drops to 1 quart).
4. Allow the treated water to stand for 30 minutes. Water should have a slight bleach odor. If not, repeat and wait another 15 minutes. The treated water can then be made palatable by pouring it between clean containers several times.

How is Clorox letting people know about the new Concentrated formulation?

Clorox's answer:

Clorox will be letting consumers know about the change in a variety of ways. On the bleach bottle it will say "now concentrated". And in many stores there will be additional signage in the laundry aisle. In addition, we will be letting consumers know via our TV advertising, public relations materials, website and Facebook page.

How is Clorox® Regular-Bleach different from Clorox® Scented Bleach and Clorox® Splash-less Bleach?

Clorox's answer:

Our scented and Splash-less bleaches are not registered disinfectants. If you need a registered disinfectant, you can purchase Clorox® Regular-Bleach at almost any store that sells laundry products. Make sure that "Disinfects" or "Kills germs" appears on the label.
